The Earth’s military and NASA employees supposedly guard this wall of ice to prevent people from getting close enough to prove that the Earth is flat (and I suppose to stop them from climbing over and falling off). What we do know is that it encircles the earth and serves to hold in our oceans and helps protect us from whatever lies beyond.” To our knowledge, no one has been very far past the ice wall and returned to tell of their journey. “Beyond the ice wall is a topic of great interest to the Flat Earth Society. In their world view, Antarctica, rather than being a continent is actually a 46 metre (150ft) high, wall of ice around the rim of the disc. So what do Flat -Earthers believe and how does it involve Antarctica?įor a start, they believe that the Earth is a flat disc and the Arctic Circle (north polar region) is in the centre. Sometimes crazy answers but answers nonetheless. However, I do ask him questions, which usually start with ‘But what about…?’ and he always has an answer. If it makes him happy, well who am I to dissuade him? It is very much like a religious belief for him, which is why I tend to not be too harsh with him. When he ‘discovered’ the Flat Earth conspiracy, it finally all made sense to him, almost like a religious revelation, and he felt we had been placed here for a reason and were being looked after by something greater than us. He said that when he was younger he was a member of an astronomy club and loved learning about stars and planets and the cosmos.īut, when scientists started saying that we were living on an insignificant planet in the immensity of black space on the edge of a galaxy that was only one of millions, it didn’t sit well with him. I asked him ‘What do you get out of believing that?’ I have a friend who is adamant that the Earth is flat! He can spend hours explaining to me why it is flat and how we have all been conned.
